Actress Erin Karpluk and director Jason Priestley join Season 2 as production begins

In this second season, former Chief of Surgery, Dr. Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks) is awake from his coma and reunited with his fiancée Dr. Alex Reid (Erica Durance).

Alex and the other doctors of Hope Zion Hospital – including Alex’s ex-boyfriend, Dr. Joel Goran (Daniel Gillies) – continue to handle gripping medical cases full of twists and turns this season, while Charlie struggles with a secret that could jeopardize his career and his relationship with Alex: he can still see and communicate with ghosts.

Gemini-nominated actor Jason Priestley and Gregory Smith are each set to direct an episode in the upcoming second season, joining directors David Wellington, Ken Girotti, John Fawcett, and Jeff Woolnough.

Karpluk (from “Being Erica”) will have a recurring guest starring role this season, playing a single mother and one of Dr. Joel Goran’s patients.

The 18-episode, one-hour series will shoot in and around Toronto until September 2013.
